About Jennifer
Jennifer Pariera is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and guilt and shame. Sessions also address issues such as caregiver stress, body image, loneliness, and mood disorders.
She uses a conversational, collaborative style in sessions. Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns of thinking and feeling. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and motivational interviewing to clarify values and practical next steps.
In a typical meeting she listens first, then helps clients try small, concrete experiments. That might mean testing a new behavior, practicing a short mindfulness exercise, or reframing an unhelpful thought. The focus is on what is useful day to day rather than long lists of theory.
Jennifer has experience supporting veterans and military members, and she often works with young adults navigating life transitions. She also helps people who are dealing with compassion fatigue and caregiving strain.
People who come for help with shame or guilt can expect straightforward conversations about what keeps those feelings active. Jennifer offers practical tools to manage intense emotions and to rebuild routines that feel workable. She encourages clients to set realistic steps they can try between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness in session. CBT involves looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small changes to see what helps. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even with difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment notice of experience.Choosing the right approach is something she does together with each person. She will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative testing helps decide which techniques to keep using over time.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people follow through on homework exercises between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation without rearranging a full day.
